Hey, I have a Jupiter 6 that I am looking to unload for something different. I've been looking into VA synths, but there are so many options it makes my head hurt, haha. Access, Alesis and Waldorf are a few companies I've been really eyeing. I like creating weird ambient noises, but I would like a synth great for poly-bass stuff too. Maybe some decent Rhodes type emulation. I've also been considering trying to get an Oberheim Xpander. But I want to stray away from anything too 80's cheesy sounding, I don't care for pads or fake sounding strings and that sort. Just my opinion, not trying to knock anyone else's taste.
So basically, I was hoping people could tell me their favorite poly-synth, something with a lot of modulation options and capable of creating strange unearthly tones but also capable of creating nice stripped down and basic keys and bass. And I never really liked the polished 'Roland' sound I get from my JP-6, so something that sounds gritty and organic would be nice.
